Good Day

Yesterday was a good day! Can you guess what happened? That's right, someone returned our pool/club house key. At around 8:30-9:00 pm yesterday there came a knock at the door. Cody answered it and it was someone asking if the key was our, YEAH!!! Besides that Bailey pooped in the toilet again and I found a $100 Marriott gift card on KSL for $50. Cody is using that this weekend for his paintball tournament in California, so we saved $50 off his trip. Yesterday was a good day!

Heartless People

So today was a beautiful day here in Utah, 78 degress and sunny. So at about 3pm we headed out on a walk to the park. On the way I stopped and picked up the mail. We played at the park for two hours. We are all pink now of course, but it was fun! On the way home I went to pull my keys out to open the house and the keys werent there. So I headed to the mail box to see if I left them in my box. Thank goodness my keys were there. However my electronic key that goes to my pool and clubhouse was missing. These keys are expensive to replace. Someone had to have known what they were doing when they took it. I was so angry! So I paisted a note up and put pictures of crying children on it. I am hoping this person gets a conscience or enough guilt to return it. Or someone feels sorry for us and buys us a new one. I doubt the two will happen, but I can hope. Why are there people out there that are so heartless, seriously?

Bailey's Suprise

Bailey and Brooklyn always sit on the potty before they get into the bath tub. They never actually go potty but they enjoy sitting on it and pretending. I think its good and maybe they will get the hint. Well after their bath the other night, I got them into their pajamas, as I was getting Bailey in hers she said she had to go poop. So I took her diaper off and set her on the potty and she actually did it! I was so proud! I am not even thinking about potty training, I will just let them take it on their own. I pushed Tabatha into potty training and that was the biggest mistake ever. So this time around they can do it on their time. There is no age or rule book that says this when when your child needs to be potty trained. They are doing a fabulous job, so far, I think. They like to flush the toilet and close the lid, at least they are not afraid of it. So here's to the start of a diaper free road. I give it a year before they are totally potty trained, but this was a start to something.

Dexter Going to Heaven

So this is a sad post. We got a dog in January at the pound, a Jack Russell. When we brought him home he was very mellow and then he starting snotting everywhere, he had a cold. He would also make wheezing noises, so I took him to the Vet, he had kennel cough. We cured that by shoving meds down him for two weeks. So he has been a relatively good dog, besides not being potty trained and he wasn't neutered when we got him. If you know anything about male dogs, if they are not neutered by one to one and a half everything they do is now pretty embedded into them, its very hard to break their habits. He did pretty good. He has this thing if the door opens he will just take off running and we have to chase him down and find him. He has run away a few times, its not fun. A few weeks ago one of Tabatha's friends came to play. They went outside and Dexter decided he wanted to jump on the girl and bit her coat, maybe even her. I don't know what it is with him and the kids outside together but its just not a good thing, he is too hyper.
The other day he got out and we couldn't find him for a while, finally the secretary in our ward found him and brought him home. Later that night I got a call, from someone in our ward, that Dexter had bitten his daughter. He didn't break skin or anything, but he wanted to inform us. Today I went to go get the mail, I take Dexter with me and run the whole way, to get him some exercise. On the way back we walked by a lady with a Shitzu, Dexter went up and just bit the dog and wouldn't let go. I had to drop the mail and pry his jaws off. Thank goodness he didn't do any harm, the other dog didn't even yelp, but still SCARY! I finally can not take the guilt and liability of this any longer. The previous owners of this dog and caused him pain where he feels what he is doing in necessary. I a one to think I can always fix things, but I cannot fix this dog, I have tried. I reported him to Davis County and someone is coming to get him tomorrow. I really don't know if they will put him down or not, but he has to go. I don't think he would hurt my children, but who is to tell, I cant take that risk after what I have seen over the past week. I feel really sad but I know its the right thing to do.
